"Coral necklace was an especially highly prized item but they cost a lot and only relatively few could afford them. As recently as about 70-80 years ago for a price of a coral necklace one could buy a cow. The poorer had to be content with glass beads, the richer sported necklaces made of gold and silver coins." http://www.wumag.kiev.ua/wumag_old/archiv/1_97/dress.htm All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
